PORTLAND -- For the second-straight game, the shorthanded Trail Blazers were just too short.
With a severe lack of size, the Trail Blazers were outscored 74-30 in the paint on the way to a 120-105 loss to the Utah Jazz in front of a crowd of 17,828 Wednesday night at Moda Center.
“We competed, obviously we shorthanded,” said Damian Lillard. “They got guys like Rudy Gobert and even Rudy Gay is bigger than all our guys so it’s going to be tough to get rebounds... Teams are getting twos and we shooting threes, we’re going to give ourselves a chance regardless of what happens.
